'500' errors trying to create pictures
I've been trying to create a few picture files but have been getting constant '500' errors while trying it throughout the day. I can create other effects like spirals OK so I don't think the system is down...

User: budude
Target: MTREE-30S-42P
Effect: RELAY

It resized the image OK so it got that far anyway. I haven't tried my local install yet. It's a picture for Relay For Life for my wife's charity so it would be great to get this running.

Hi Budude;
ok, i have succeeded in setting up nutcracker on hostmonster (instead of meighan.net on tierranet).

Budude; When i tried your effect on the new website, it worked. When i tried it on tierranet, it gets the 500 error.

Here is your effect from the new machine




Here is the new alpha nutcracker website

I exported data as of today to the new site.

Kick the tires and maybe compare to the current meighan.net

Some Caveats;

The official web site, for now, is still meighan.net. I will do daily exports from meighan.net to nutcracker123, but any changes you make on nutcracker123 will NOT be ported back to meighan.net
This is alpha testing.

If this works it will be a big help. I am being given up to 200 gbytes of disk space for $5/month. I currently am paying $50/month for 50gigs.
What is really nice and unusual is that i have ssh and can compile and install my own programs. I used this capability to compile and install gnuplot.
There technical support is fantastic, best i have used in a long time (And i have been programming since 1972).

This is a shared server, up to 1000 other websites are on the box. The box does have 128 gigs of RAM and 24 threads.  Most people are just running web sites so they will not consume as much resources as we are.

If i do decide to switch over this week (We are at 43 gigs of disk space), it will be transparent. I will repoint meighan.net to point to nutcracker123. This will happen after i am certain there are no surprises.

So, if you have a big effect that would not finish on meighan.net, give nutcracker123.com/nutcracker a try.

I still think it is a good idea to run everything from a localhost.

We are now at almost 950 users.

thanks

It's just because Sean can't spell.

Thanks, didn't put it under the microscope.

Using Chrome as the browser on the new site I cannot see the animated gifs in the Gallery.

The old site works just fine.

I logged in as you and tried your first effect, i did get the animated gif



i am using chrome


what effect were you trying?

[Voltorb]

I think MrChristmas is referring to the animated gifs in the gallery tab.  My guess is they're not on the new server.

[MrChristmas2000]

Correct, the gifs were not in the Gallery on the new server.

Correct, the gifs were not in the Gallery on the new server.

i am moving the nearly 4 gigs over there today

Sean -  Where should we go to get the latest files for a local install ?

[MrChristmas2000]

How long before this new server going to be made the main server?

I am assuming that if one creates any effects on the new server right now that they will disappear as data is brought over from the current main server.

Hey Sean,

Well I ran the same creation of a pattern on both sites and the new site completed it quicker then the old. Saving money is a nice bonus too!

FYI, I've been with that host a couple years as well and have been really happy with them. I hope it works out with what ever you decide.

 i have two issues to work out
1) Copy the 3 gigs of animated gifs over so that the gallery works, that will be done today
2) Work out one sql that is giving an error in projects.

and yes, any effects you make will be lost when i again do a export/import from meighan.net. When i repoint meighan.net that is when nutcracker123 would be come the official site.

What's this #2 kemosabe?!  LOL.  I just fixed the problem.  It was a setting for large table merging (a MySQL setting).  When it is not set, large table merges will fail during a left join query.  So cross #2 off the list!  (BTW, I already posted the changes to nutcracker123.com so you don't have to.  Thanks for the info on doing that, should save us both a lot of time)
